Chapter 141: Surprise
Chapter 141: Surprise
Xiao Dong finished the last stroke, put down the pen, and pulled out the piece of paper he had just drawn. On the fine white and translucent clear cloud paper is a picture of a peony, and the petals are rolled and rich.
Hu Shi smiled and pushed open the door: "County Lord, look who's coming?" ”
Xiao Dong turned his head, and Qin Lie stood by the door, smiling at her.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Lie was serious: "Come and see the world." I've never been in a hot spring. ”
Xiao Dong was stunned and laughed. Hu smiled and took two steps back and closed the door.
Xiao Dong took him by the hand and walked to the window and sat down: "Are you not busy?" ”
"If you want to be busy, you will be busy every day, and you will never be busy." Qin Lie smiled, his lips rubbed lightly on the corner of her forehead: "I was interrogated a lot when I came in just now. ”
"The emperor is here, that's it. Who made you just in time. This is still a separate courtyard where I live, and the further back I go, the more strict it becomes. ”
The hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, Xiao Dong handed over the handkerchief, but Qin Lie probed his face forward, looked at her with a smile, and Xiao Dong wiped the sweat for him.
"It's getting warmer, but don't take yourself so seriously. Sweating all the way, you rode all the way? Did you have lunch? ”
Qin Lie touched his stomach: "I drank two sips of water on the way." ”
Xiao Dongbai glanced at him and called someone to come in to prepare the meal.
"Don't be busy, just take two convenient bites, anyway, I won't have dinner in an hour."
Hongfu came in with two snacks and a pot of tea, and Qin Liefeng ate most of the dim sum in a blink of an eye.
Every time I watch him eat, it makes people feel very appetizing.
Xiao Dong smiled and also took a sesame cake to eat, and lifted the pot to pour tea for Qin Lie.
"Eat slowly, don't eat too much, or what will happen to dinner?"
"How are you doing these two days?"
"It's good." Xiao Dong wrinkled his nose: "It's just that the emperor is here, and it's not so loose." The fourth sister and the sixth sister were also restrained. I went to ask for peace this morning, and it turned out that I wanted to go to the annex of Houshan Tiger Leaping Spring today, but they didn't go, and it was not interesting for me to go alone. ”
"Well, it's late today, why don't I go with you tomorrow?"
Xiao Dong smiled and nodded: "Okay." The water in Tiger Leap Spring is more comfortable than here, and there are several small pools there, which I visited once before. We could stay there for one night and come back the next day. ”
Although Qin Lie was very happy to come to Xiaodong, he also felt a little strange while being happy.
Qin Lie sent her over at that time, but he was only halfway there. Xiaodong is not the kind of woman who has to tie her husband to a crony for twelve hours a day. She planned to spend a few days here, and asked people to go back to the capital to bring the two books she wanted to read but didn't brought.
Qin Lie came abruptly, and Xiao Dong was a little puzzled after being surprised.
Even if Qin Lie wanted to make her happy, he didn't have to come over so quickly and drive himself like this, this was not his usual style of doing things. Besides, Xiao Dong didn't bring the books and other things he asked for when he went back.
Could it be something?
Xiao Dong was slightly startled, and then rejected the idea. If there was really something in the palace that needed her to go back, Qin Lie would definitely tell her directly. Looking at his expression now, it is obvious that Kyori is fine.
That...... Is it not worried about her?
But at the beginning, when she came with the four princesses, she didn't see King An and Qin Lie uneasy.
- And now, the emperor is here, and Qin Lie is in a hurry.
Qin Lie said: "It's sweaty, I'll wash it first." ”
Xiao Dong smiled: "There is not much else here, but there is more water and more pools." There's one in my yard, and I'll just go this way, just around the corner. You didn't bring a change of clothes, did you? I command someone to find it for you. ”
Qin Lie took her hand: "You accompany me." ”
Xiao Dong's face was slightly hot, and he was half-pulled and half-hugged by Qin Lie and walked back. She was worried that people would see her, but she didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if others were too discerning, and she didn't meet anyone along the way.
The warm spring water spits out from the mouths of goldfish carved in stone, and the pool is not large, but it can hold more than three or five people. Qin Lie pulled off his belt and pulled off his shirt three times and twice, and Xiao Dong stood aside and pursed his lips.
Qin Lie had already stepped into the pool with one foot, and turned around and stretched out his hand to her: "Come down." ”
Xiao Dong took a step back, smiled and shook his head: "You can soak for a while, if you can relieve your fatigue, I'll make tea." ”
Qin Lie was not reluctant, and sat down against the edge of the pool.
Xiao Dong came back with tea, and Qin Lie's head leaned slightly against the edge of the pool, as if he was asleep.
Xiao Dong put down the teapot and leaned down.
Before her hand touched Qin Lie's face, Qin Lie's eyes didn't open, and he whispered lazily, "I'm awake." ”
"You sleep for a while to recuperate, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Qin Lie shook his head: "I'm not tired. I just haven't slept well in the past two days. I don't know why, usually when you are at home, I feel constrained when I sleep, afraid of pressing you and kicking you. You're not at home, I'm sleeping on the couch alone, I'm not steady, horizontally, vertically, I always feel that my legs and feet are not in the right place......"
So he felt the same way?
Xiao Dong suddenly felt mentally balanced.
Hmm, but balanced, and a little sweet.
They are used to each other's existence, but they can't get back the feeling of living alone before they got married.
Xiao Dong took off his shoes and socks and sat on the edge of the pool. Her feet were delicate, like tender white water chestnuts that had just been shelled. She kicked the water lightly, and the flying water droplets splashed on Qin Lie's face, he turned his head and smiled, and suddenly reached out to grab Xiao Dong's feet, and with a force, Xiao Dong screamed and fell into the pool with a thud.
Splashing –
In fact, the pool is not deep, and if you stand, it will only reach Xiaodong's chest. But Xiao Dong fell hard this time, and when she climbed Qin Lie to stand firm, she was already completely soaked. The bun was half scattered, and the water was dripping downward, the clothes were tightly attached to the body, and the soft silk silk was full of water, becoming transparent and heavy.
"You ......" is too much......
Qin Lie's lips pressed over warmly, blocking all her unspoken complaints.
“…… God, the sky is still bright......"
Qin Lie was busy with both hands: "It's dark in a while......"
Not......
By the time Xiaodong woke up, it was indeed dark.
Kangquan is on high ground, and the stars are much brighter than in the capital. Looking out of the window, the lights on the side of the mountain and the stars twinkling overhead seemed to overlap, making it impossible to tell which was the star and which was the lamp.
There is a time to eat in the palace, and the Hu family keeps the food for the two of them, and it is still warm to eat. The sticky millet porridge is golden and fragrant, with the emerald green cabbage and the sour and appetizing pickled bamboo shoots, Xiaodong drank two bowls and was still unsatisfied. She touched her already full belly and suddenly remembered...... Today's good appetite is mostly due to the consumption just now......
Removed the table, and brought a plate of peaches and a plate of green pears. Qin Lie peeled the skin of the peach finely, held it and handed it to Xiao Dong.
The ripe peaches exude a light sweet fruity aroma, and Xiao Dong took a bite and felt that it was more delicious than what he had eaten a few days ago.
"Let's stay two more days and go back." Qin Lie's fingers lightly raked and combed a few times in Xiao Dong's half-draped black hair. Xiao Dong's hair is soft and thin, with a moist and warm tide. Qin Lie felt that he was almost addicted, and he was reluctant to take his hand back again and again.
Dong didn't ask why.
Sometimes, Xiao Dong felt that Qin Lie knew more and more about her than herself.
He also knows a lot of things.
For example, the Yao family's affairs.
But Xiao Dong tried to ask him several times but was unsuccessful. Qin Lie's eloquence is also very good, every time he speaks, he inexplicably turns the direction, Xiao Dong can listen to it attentively, and he can only come back to his taste after he has to got, he was led by the nose to the fork in the road again.
Xiao Dong was a little distracted, and the peach juice was all over his hands, and he called people to bring water to wash his hands.
She had a feeling.
For a long time, the people around her have been guarding a secret, and this secret is related to her.
This secret is known to the emperor and empress, the queen mother knows, King An knows, and the Hu family knows - now it seems that Qin Lie should also know.
It had something to do with her, but she didn't know it.
She wasn't uncurious.
However, these people who hide her are more people who love her.
Their concealment must be ...... It's also for her, right?
Xiaodong slept very well at night, did not toss and turn and couldn't sleep, nor did he wake up several times a night.
She woke up first in the morning.
Qin Lie was still sleeping soundly.
Xiao Dong lay on the pillow and carefully examined his face.
Qin Lie's eyebrows were dark and thick, the bridge of his nose was high, and thin stubble appeared on his lips and chin, which looked pale blue.
Although the color appears calm and even, it feels like a hard brush. Xiao Dong's skin is thin, and when his ears and temples are grinding, he is always pierced by Qin Lie's stubble.
But his lips are very delicate, like his mother.
Xiao Dong looked at his facial features little by little, and put them together to ponder.
The sound of people walking outside gradually brightened.
The hour is almost up, and it's time to get up.
But he didn't want to move.
A little more is a point, and a moment is a moment.
"It's foggy today." Hongfu said: "I can't see anyone ten steps away." ”
Xiao Dong took the hairpin and picked the rouge and glanced out the window. Through the pale blue curtain, it was indeed hazy outside. Pushing open the window, wisps of white mist slowly diffused into the window, like a stream of water, silent and warm.
With such a big fog, I'm afraid I can't go to Tiger Leaping Spring.
It's a pity, Xiao Dong still wants Qin Lie to take a look.
When he was in Suizhou, Qin Lie deliberately took Xiaodong to the mountains to see the waterfalls and lakes, which were beautiful. The scenery of Tiger Leaping Spring is not so beautiful...... But Xiaodong also wanted to go there with him, and the two of them went there for a day.
But I didn't expect this to be unfortunate, the fog was too big, and the mountain road was difficult to walk.
Xiao Dong was a little frustrated, and Qin Lie comforted her in turn: "It doesn't matter, there may not be fog tomorrow, let's go tomorrow the same." ”

Big Orange went to kindergarten after being sick for more than a week, and everything went back to square one, and she continued to cry, just like she did on the first day.
